In this campaign you will visit the fictional city of Dawn, visit Anna's house, and of-course arrive at a carefully recreated Crossroads mall where an ever charming CJ will send you on a wild zombie hunt with custom created events and crescendo's optimized for a fast paced left 4 dead experience.

Today, me fellow Left 4 Dead fans, I bring you sad, sad news. Darth_Brush has been hit by a terrible ordeal. His computer has packed up he won't be able to work on Dead Before Dawn until he can buy a new computer. It is in this light, that we come to you, the Left 4 Dead community and Dead Before Dawn fans.

It will take roughly 6-8 weeks before Darth_Brush can afford another computer and this will drastically delay the release of Dead Before Dawn. If you have some spare cash, please donate so we can buy Darth_Brush a new computer in Germany so we can release the campaign on schedule.

We are planning on releasing the campaign on Halloween, if we can get Darth_Brush a new computer/laptop in a week or 2, we will be able to stick to our goal. Please spread the news if you can't donate, maybe someone else you know can donate. To donate, please click on the Paypal link to the left of this article or send donations to admin@l4dmods.com.

If we can get Darth_Brush a new computer in time, we will release never before seen footage of the campaign in versus mode. We have been working our fingers to the bone for the fans of versus mode and we are confident that you will love the versus campaign of Dead Before Dawn.

If we do not collect enough money for a new computer, we will return each and every donation received. While we're on this topic, what do you think is a reasonable PC to use for mapping and playing Left 4 Dead?

To say thank you for all the people who donated, we decided to give everyone who donated $10 or more their own wall writing in the game. Now you, the player can search the campaign for your very own Easter Egg.

Erik and Stefanie donated and will have their names carved into a tree:"Erik & Stefanie 4Eva" with 2 dead bodies on the ground next to the tree.

UPDATE!!!|

Hi guys! Just to let you know, we have now enough money to buy a PC. Darth_Brush scraped some money together that his wife won't know about (lol). He donated 200USD to the cause himself.

I am now just waiting for him to send his address over to me so I can finalize the payment of the PC. Donations are always welcome, but from now on, there's no need unless you really feel like you want your name in the campaign.

I personally want to thank each and everyone one who donated, wether you donated 1c (yes, someone actually did) or if you donated $100 (some people did). It always makes you proud to be a part of a community that helps eachother up when we have fallen down.

I would also like to tell you guys, that the guys who donated $50 or more will now be included into the Beta Testing team. You trusted us with your money, we will trust you with our campaign.

Again, thank you so much for all your help! I will post an article on www.L4DMods.com when we have the PC assembled and ready!

Many thanks to the people who donated already! We cannot say thank you enough for your support. We have decided to say thank you by adding the names of the people who donated $10 or more to the campaign in wall writings. Come Halloween, you can do some Easter Egg hunting to find your name in the game!

the maps were already profesionally detailed before the donation so it's really just an aid now, he compiles maps that took 27minutes to compile in 7 minutes and no crashes. Thanks to the comunity , his map making process has become alot faster than on a laptop: it means also that more time can be spent adding even more details.
